Fair point. It's my daily, so it doesn't get beat on on a regular basis. If I were to ever track the car it definitely wouldn't be on any 0W-20 or without some preventative measures in place. As for just racking up daily miles, given the chance of putting in too much trying to get a perfect fill, I'm comfortable with making sure it's somewhere above halfway between the notches to touching the full notch. And if it doesn't move from that level across half a year and/or 7,500 miles, or show any bad signs on oil analyses, I'm not going to stress about it.
